India beat Namibia in the match for prestige
India 136/1 (15.2) – Namibia 132/8 (20). The closing game of the T20 World Cup Super 12 stage finished quite predictably. After India won the toss, their captain, Virat Kohli, decided to bowl first. That was a logical decision relying on the existing conditions: the Men in Blue were ready to chase a weaker team.
Nonetheless, Namibia looked pretty well while batting. They scored 132 runs against a strong opponent, although losing eight wickets. Moreover, at the beginning of the second inning, they stopped KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma to keep their ball/run rate close to 1. However, both Indian leading batters still hit a half-century with only one wicket lost in the middle of the second inning.
